An Apology
🕑 Added 2025-08-25 07:26:56 +0000 UTCFirst off, I want to say thank you to all who are still here. The month of July was a nightmare for me. I don't talk a ton about personal stuff but there were a few things that have happened over the last two months.
Most know I work at Amazon and recently moved up to a management role. For the last three years, I've worked the sort shift, which for me is 1:20am-11:50am. After finishing academy (Amazon's management training) my hours were supposed to be 11:30pm-10am. That never, ever happened. I was working a minimum of 13 hours a day and most days, 15-16. There were several changes in management while I was in academy. One change put me with a new, higher up manager. The two of us did not see eye to eye on how to effectively manage sort. In the end, I was moved from night shift to day, and one half of the week to the other. My entire body clock has been a wreck since. Due to the change, I've struggled with setting aside time to work on projects, commissions... pretty much everything.
To compound the issue, the long hours partially caused me to eat very unhealthy. The move to days and feeling like I was cast away led to a darker place mentally than I want to admit. Put that together and I found myself quickly gaining weight. The day shift doesn't involve as much moving, but I was still eating like I was running around all day. I am getting better though. I've eaten very clean for all of August and am starting to feel better physically.
However, I still have an obligation to post. Want to hear something insane? I rendered most of the Patreon Suggestions on the 2nd of August. It took me until three days ago to put text in and still, have only now posted them. The Choose The Change was rendered over a month ago.
I'm working on getting myself caught up everywhere. I still have a few commissions outstanding and I do have the Altered Realities comic rendered, but no text yet. I WILL get that up before the end of the month.

I'm getting there. Thank you for sticking with me.

Try not to burn yourself out. We def can understand how busy life can get. Still take a moment to yourself to breathe and relax
